Curated Treasures
This online boutique is a collection of little gems that I find while exploring my current country, the Philippines. It showcases the creative skills of talented artisans who mostly work by themselves or just as small groups of workers. As an interior designer, I am loving discovering these beautifully crafted pieces that are sophisticated and international, yet truly Filipino.

Our Fun Capiz Collection
Wow! capiz shell has come a long way since the 1970s when those big lights of discs of capiz shell were all the rage! Well, fast forward to the present and this beautiful translucent shell product has evolved into very sophisticated ranges of colourful and functional homewares.
I hope you will like these pieces ... perhaps you might even like to customise some table settings to suit your home and decor ... I think it's going to be a fun range!
Our Very Special Cushion Collection
fell in love with these cushions when I saw them at a Trade Fair where I was " looking" with my "Interior Designers Hat" on!
They are made by a talented group of indigenous artisans from the southern part of Mindanao . They use parts of the banana tree to weave cloth called T'nalak, using traditional methods from several generations ago .... and yet producing these contemporary designs that have already hit the International stage
We would like to sell them in pairs although not necessarily matching.
I hope you love them as much as I do !
Our Beautiful Tassel Collection
This quirky collection of tassels comes from Negros, one of the major islands of the Philippines. The lady works by herself - not even a "family factory" - and each one is really a work of art.
I love the vibrant jewel colours and totally mad "tops." They are all quite long and lush and work well as spectacular curtain tiebacks or door handle tassels or casually draped on the coffee table or console.
I'll update them as she produces new pieces
